How
Human Potential and Passion Factors Into Relationships

There
is no end to what we can accomplish, just as there
are no limitations upon our minds and thinking. Human
potential manifests in many shapes and from many
different bases, but usually, the most profound,
is that which is instinctive.

Many
times, we never know exactly what we are capable
of, until circumstances manage to create a situation
wherein, we must “rise
to the occasion,” set aside doubt, and prior
viewpoints, all negativity, and “just do it.” Those
are often the most powerful, and life-defining moments
in a person’s life; those times when there
is absolutely no excuse, and little or no time to
prepare for that moment. It just happens, organically.

For
example, in times of severe stress, such as a life-threatening
situation, war, or other disasters, we often discover
courage that, we were never predisposed to. The same
holds true in areas such as business, and sports,
particularly in times of crisis. Magically, we find
a side of ourselves emerging that we never really
even knew existed.

Therefore, within us, we all
have both realized and unrealized potential, in the
form of talents and abilities. In addition, there are
areas of potential that exist outside of us, that can
become opportunities, from which to excel.

By
increasing awareness and perception parameters, we
can begin to actually see the possibility of opportunities
surface, even possibly predict or imagine them. It
is often through imagination that situations begin
to materialize. When you think about it, the very
first germination of anything begins with a thought.

The
inclusion of other people’s perceptions can have a direct
impact on the number of opportunities that seemingly
arise from nowhere, just as the opposite can occur,
in that negative energy can foster a lack thereof.

This
is why it is so important to choose the people that
you surround yourself with carefully. Many people
spend more time deciding what kind of work environment
and friendships they wish to have, than they ever do
in the most intimate of all relationships: dating,
sex and marriage. Oddly enough, it truly is the case,
as evidenced by how many marriages don’t last,
romantic involvements that shatter so quickly, and
dating that seems to go nowhere. Often times, it is
due to the simple fact that not enough time and research
is spent in choosing the people we spend our time with.
We often compromise our own realities, to engage in
what usually turns out to be a very limited, and sometimes
damaging liaison of the sort that, we would actually
have been better without.

While
it’s true that
life experiences of all kinds can be enriching, it
is also true that some situations, even though we can
learn from them, would have been best avoided, and
could have been, if a clear-headed viewpoint took the
place of whimsy.

When
you look at what happens when people combine their
potentials with one another, in relationships and
teams, it is clear that the effect can be truly powerful.
Joining positive forces can conquer everything from
evil, to invasion, to creating pure joy and bliss.

Conversely,
consorting with individuals who do not hold to your
value system on some level, will serve to cause the
opposite effect of collaboration: disharmony and
discord. The resultant negative energy can be disheartening
to say the least; and otherwise detrimental on both
psychic and ultimately, a physical level, as well.

The
concept of synergy, simply stated, is the theory
that the sum of the total surpasses that of the individual
parts. In considering couples, it can be just as
powerful, as when applied to a group of people. It
means that more potential exists between two people,
or within a group. In problem solving and decision-making,
it often takes the burden off of one person, distributing
it, instead, amongst two or more people, making it
easier to deal with.

If
one were to approach the idea of combining talents
in a symbiotic way, potentials could be approached
in two ways:

1.
Those people interested in self-development; and

2.
Issues relating to discovering the best candidates
to form an alliance

The
above can be applied to virtually any scenario, ranging
from friendships, to career, to interpersonal relationships.
If you think of the role of “partner” in a romantic involvement
as a true psychic alliance, the whole focus of your
search will change, than if you simply look for people
to have a good time with, or whom are physically attractive.
Suddenly, those individuals who looked so good before,
will lose their attractiveness, at least, on levels
other than physically.

If
there were a reliable procedure for at least one
of the above areas, a relatively sure-fire formula
for finding the best human potential mates might
exist.

Regardless
of whether personal development, professional selection
or orientation, is being addressed, it is necessary
to understand what the potential of the person being
considered, really is. Development alternatives arise
from anything that the person is able to do, with
pleasure, and what absorbs him/her completely, i.e.,
what they are passionate about. And those areas of
passion and devotion, probably speak more to what
a person is all about, than any other evaluative
process available. Thus, finding out what the true
passions of people are, is a very good place to start,
when considering people to spend time with, date,
or have a relationship with.
